The new AMD Radeon RX 6000M Series mobile graphics includes the Radeon RX 6800M GPU, said to be AMD's fastest Radeon for laptops, delivering desktop-class performance enabling ultra-high frame rate 1440p gaming.
Thanks toAMD'sRDNA 2 architecture, RX 6000M Series mobile graphics delivers up to 150% of the performance of the previous generation architecture, or up to 43% lower power consumption for the same performance, according to the company.
TheAMD Radeon RX 6800M GPU supports 1440p/120fps gaming performance with "true-to-life visuals," AMD officials said, while theRX 6700M GPU provides 1440p/100fps performance for advanced gaining and content creation laptops.
Completing the current range is theRX 6600M GPU, intended to allow 1080p/100fps on lightweight laptops.
Radeon RX 6000M Series mobile graphics include up to 96MB of last-level data cache integrated on the GPU die, access to the entire memory space from AMD Ryzen processors, dynamic power allocation between Radeon graphics and Ryzen mobile processors, power saving through frame rate regulation when there is little on-screen movement, and the AMD FidelityFX visual enhancement effects toolkit.
AMD also introduced theAMD Advantage design framework, developed in conjunction with the company's PC partners and aimed at delivering the next generation of premium, high-performance gaming laptops.
AMD Advantage laptops are optimised to deliver over 100fps gaming in today’s most visually demanding titles, all-day (at least ten hours) battery-powered video playback, 144Hz+ refresh rates, bright (300+ nits) displays, and cool operation during continuous gameplay.
Several AMD Advantage gaming laptops are expected to be available this year.
The first should be the ROG Strix G15/17 AMD Advantage Edition in early June, followed by the Omen 16 laptop, and then models from Lenovo and MSI.
"There have been incredible advances in gaming over the last several years, with powerful technologies allowing desktop PCs to deliver high-octane, beautifully complex and immersive worlds like never before," said AMD graphics business unit corporate vice president and general manager Scott Herkelman.
"Today we’re excited to bring the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA 2 architecture to next-generation laptops to unlock the same level of high-performance experiences and true-to-life visuals for mobile gamers. With AMD Advantage, gamers can be sure these next-gen laptops are designed, optimised and purpose-built for the best possible gaming experiences."
